A data visualisation specific colour palette has been created for the charts. Colour combinations (groups) have been created to assist when assigning colours to charts, based on the number of elements and type of data.
These colours are complementary to the Eurofound brand identity colour palette. These colours must be used when creating charts.

Intro text: The different colours are assigned to the amount of data groups the chart has. For example, if a chart has four data groups, then the four colour group must be used. For ordinal data the single colour groups can be used.

An extended colour group has been created to show a large amount of data with up to thirty six colours.
The colour group consists of every colour and shade used in the single colour groups. They have been ordered by the darkest shade of each colour to ensure that each colour is distinguishable from the next.
To ensure consistency, it is recommended that the colours selected by the user start from green.
For example, if you require a chart to show thirty two types of data with thirty two different colours, then the following colour group should be used with the first colour being 'Green 1'.

A set of colour shades have been created to show ordinal data.
For example, you can use single colour groups to show variable economic status with three categories such as low, medium and high. In addition, you can also use another colour group for additional categories such as an education level, for example, 1, 2, and 3.
To ensure consistency the single colour groups should be used starting with the darkest colour.

The gradient colours are based on the 'Single colour groups' with the darkest and lightest shade of each colour being used. The gradient colour groups can be used to show ordinal data for maps where more than six of the same colour is required.
